Andrew,

It's not a matter of cuteness.  It's the same as a pull-down menu.  You 
click on the File button at the top of any Windows program and a menu 
drops down to show additional choices.  You can slide across to the next 
one and see if it's there.  This is how all Windows programs work, such 
as PAF.  It makes no difference if they drop down, pop up (such as the 
one on the tool bar of your Windows screen when you right-click in an 
empty place) or if it flies out to the side.  Certainly if you have only 
a few choices they can be held in the main list but if you have many 
choices in each of the main categories there's no other way to display them.
